An IRISH TlCTORY.

Sullivan; Lord Mayo of Dublin, Acquitted
of the Charge Against Him.
The trial of Lord Mayor Sullivan for
publishing in the papers controlled by
him reports of meetings of suppressed
National league branches was held at
the Mansion House, Dublin, on the 9Th,
and resulted in the prisoners acquittal.
He and the other Dublin city officials
attended court in their robes of
state. Mr.. Carson appeared as
counsel for the crown and Timothy
Healy appeared for the defense.
After hearing the evidence the court
dismissed the case on the ground that
the crown had not proved that the
meeting reported in the Nation was a
meeting of a suppressed branch of the
national league. The spectators
and the crowd outside the court
room were wildly enthusiastic
over the decision. Counsel for
the crown gave notice of an appeal.
In the streets there was a scefie of wild
enthusiasm. The crowd was so great that
it almost prevented the progress of the
civic procession. The Tory newspaper
offices were hissed by the people. The
lord mayor made a speech. Referring
to the result of his trial he said the ma
tional press had been victorious in its
first tussel with coercive government
and the news would gladden. the hearts
of Parnell and Gladstone. The only
way to defeat the infamous coercion law
was to defy it. AS for limselfthe plank
upon which he was to sleep in jail had
not vet been sawn.

ON A CHOLERA SHIP.
Passenger on the AIesIa Tells of tn
Horrors of the Voyage.

Horrors of the Voyage.
New YORK, Oct. 6.-The Rev. DR..
Maynard, the lecturer, WAS one of the
passengers on the plague-stricken
steamer Alesia, which arrived here
couple of weeks ago. He WAS seen by
reporter to-day and told the following
story of the sad voyage: 81 do not
know the exact number of emigrants
who were taken ON board at Naples, but
it must have been about 600. Among
them was party of 40 from Palermo, a
plague-stricken city. None of the few
cabin passengers were, Of course aware
of the occurrence at the time. During
the earlier part of the passage all cir
cumstances seemed to conspire to pro-
duce pleasure to all on board. We were
a gay company, the Italian emigrants
particularly 80. The discomforte
attending an emigrant voyage seemed tc
have no effect upon their spirits. They
chatted and laughed and sang and
danced all day long and well into the
nights, which were made more pleasant
by moonlight. Among the emigrants
were many OF the wealthier class of 1tal-
ians and their really beautiful singing
added greatly to the charm of these de-
lightful evenings.
we were HDDul lWtINe CdyS Out
when the plague broke ont. A young
Neapolitan died. 1t was given ont that
heart disease was the cause, and there
was at the time no ground for supposing
otherwise, and yet, in some unaccount-
able way, all on board ship became
seized with misgiving. Nothing on the
part of the captain, who was particu
larly Jolly fellow, or of the other officers
indicated that the Neapolitan's death
was out of the ordinary run of such
misfortunes, yet it caused a sudden fear
to fall upon the emigrants, the like of
which | had never before In a verv long
and very varied experience of travel
met with. From that time not sound
of mirth was heard. The dancing was
ended. Not note was sung.
''The funeral of the Neapoitan was
a sad and impressive sight, and if it was
possible, it increased the general dejec-
ton. l have no doubt that the condi
ton of mind of these people had a good
deal to do with the swift headway which
the disease made after it began it's
work. l never saw such a complete SUR
render to misfortune as these people
made, and it presented all the more
startling appearance on account OF the
light which they had at
first displayed. They seemed as limp
as rags. They made no struggle with
fate, but sat or moved about istlessly
and lifelessly, and seemed actually to in
vite death by the dread of it.
'I cannot give any particulars regard
ing the progress of the disease or the
number of victims. The discipline on
board was perfect and the doctor and
his assistants were untiring in their eff
forts. There were no funerals after the
first. Concealment OF the true state OF
affairs lasted but short time, and the
victims were given to the deep one after
another l believe that no one really
knows how many died on board: every
day brought It's fatalities"

Additional Particulars Regarding the
Eviction of Iowa Farmers.
DEs MONIES, Ia, Oct. S.-Ihe hrIef
Associated Press telegram from Wash
incton reciting sundry cruel evictlons
in Northwestern Iowa has been more
than doubted here in all quarters. How
ever, one of the most reliable citizens
of O'Brien County, asked as to the
truthfulness of the dispatch, instantly IN
dorsed it. In regard to the English land
company which is said to be turning
American citizens out of their homes, he
said: 'Thev are an old firm, organized
into the Western Land Company. They
bought from the old McGregor Western,
or it's assigns, the Chicago, Milwaukee *
st. Paul and the Sioux City Companies,
some lands granted to the McGregor
Western in 1864, but never earned.
When Teller was secretary of the IN
terror. he and the land commission
er both declared the lands unearned,
and promised to open them for settle
ment On the faith of these declarations
and promises, some settlers went on
these lands and built their homes. The
English syndicate now has the railroad
title and proposes to keep Possession.
At least one hundred families have
been evicted. Before they get through
the number will be increased to l40.

ACRES FOR THE OMAHA.
Reversal of Important Wisconsin
Land Ruling

Reversal OF Important Wisconsin
Land Ruling
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. THE secre-
tary of the interior to-day rendered two
important decisions affecting the right
of land grant railroads to indemnity
lands, the question being the extent to
which the right of selection to
such lands can be exercised
The question arose upon the adjust
ment made by the commissioner of the
General Land Office of the grant for the
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha
Railway, generally known as the
Omaha" road, but is sapplicable to most
of the railaoad land grants. The COM
missioner, in his adjustment, held
that the company was not en-
titled TO indemnity on account
of prior grants for other purposes
including swamp grants, Indian reser-
yations and the moieties of other roads
under contemporaneous grants. This
position the secretary reverses and holds
that the company is entitled under its
grant to indemnity for all losses which
occurred prior to the definite location
of its road, whether before or after
the passage of the granting act, except
the moieties under contemporaneous
grants. The commissioner also changed
the terminal limits of the grant SO as to
exclude thereirom several thousand
acres which were formerly included
therein. This, the secre tary holds,
cannot be done and directs that the ad-
Justment be made in accordance with
the limits originally fixed at Superior,
Wis, and fixes the southern terminus
at Hudson, Wis, on the st. Croix
River.
The commissioner treated the grant
to the Wisconsin Central Railway as be-
ing contemporaneous with that G.
the Chicago, st. Paul, Mime
apolis 4 Omaha Company, and
deducted from the latter's grant one
half the lands within the overlapping
teh-mile limits of the former and the
six-mile limits Of the latter, amount
ing to about $4,000 acres. The
secretary on this point holds that
the grant to the Omaha Company with
and awards to that company all the
lands within the conflicting limits.
The commissioner also deducted
5000 acres approved for the
Wisconsin Farm Mortgage Com
pany, on the ground that such lands
were approved under the act of 1853,
and the grant of 1864 for the Omaha
Company provides that no Indemnity
selection shall be made in lieu Of lands
received under the act oflS56. This de-
duction, the secretary holds, cannot be
made
The second decision applies to the
Bayfield, branch and deals with the
company's failure to construct it's road
upon the line of definite location. The
commissioner found that by such
failure the company abandoned its
grant to the extent of such
DETECTION. The secretary, on the
contrary, finds that there was
ample reason for the DETECTION on &C
count of engineering difficulties and that
1t did not amount TO an abandonment,
but was substantial compliance with
the law ard thatthe company is entitled
to the lands along the line rs originally
located.
The effect of this decision is to allow
the company about 204 900 acres adj
ditional indemnity for the main line
and about l25, 900 acres for the Bayfield,
branch.

Socialists Express sympathy For the
Doomed Men in Chicago.
\ combined meeting of Anarchists
and Socialists was to have been held in
Cleveland hail, London, on the evening
OF the 9TH to protest against the execu-
ton of the Chicago Anarchists. When
the time arrived for the opening the
doors were found to have been
locked by the landlord. The
meeting was adjourned to an ad.
iacent hall occupied by club of
Communists. William G.. Orris, the poet
presided. A man named Bartlett, of
the Socialist league, moved a resolution
protesting against the sentence passed
upon the Chicago Anarchists. He was
supported by several speakers. One,
named Seymour, said that every An
are-ist at the Chicago meeting ought to
have thrown a bomb at the police and
he hoped all would do so if the sentences
were carried out. If he were brought
before Judge Gary he would consider it
his proud duty to rid the world of such
VILLAIN" The resolution was carried.

During the inquest in the case of the
